Additional superintendent of police, Gonda, Radhey Shyam Rai said they were recording the driver’s statement to understand the sequence of events, the report added.
The IE report, citing another police officer, claimed that a preliminary inquiry revealed that on Wednesday morning, Karan Singh’s convoy, consisting of four vehicles, was passing through Karnalganj. While three vehicles crossed the railway crossing, the fourth vehicle, which was later involved in the accident, stayed back as a train passed.
After the train passed, the driver of the fourth vehicle allegedly sped up to catch up with the other vehicles. The SUV collided with a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction near a petrol pump, it added.
